Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Firm Tofu ((450g))
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Sesame Oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Press your tofu, ideally using a tofu press, or place your tofu on a plate, with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top of that like a heavy pot or a stack of books. Let the tofu press for 30 minutes so it becomes as firm as possible.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)

  3. 3

    Cut your pressed tofu into cubes and place into a container with a lid.

  4. 4

    Add the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, salt and ground black pepper to a bowl and mix together.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the sesame oil over the tofu and then put the lid on the container and rotate it a few times so that the oil is evenly spread.

  6. 6

    Add the cornstarch and seasonings mix to the tofu and then put the lid on again and rotate the bowl a few times so that the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.

  7. 7

    Spread the tofu cubes evenly on a parchment lined baking tray.

  8. 8

    Bake for 15 minutes and then flip the tofu cubes and bake for a further 15 minutes until deliciously crispy.
